Description

To address the challenge of nuclear waste storage, the international community is pursuing accelerator-driven subcritical systems (ADS) to reduce both the volume and radiotoxicity of spent nuclear fuel. ADS utilizes high-intensity linacs, which must operate with high reliability to prevent thermal stress on reactor structures. This presentation provides an overview of global transmutation activities, considering both government-funded research and industry-sponsored projects.
